    Hi there, when I went through basic training there were options for all faiths to continue to practice their religion around their service.

    Whilst there might be occasions during your time in the army where this might not be possible, every effort is made to ensure people’s spiritual needs are met. The padre in your unit might not be of the same faith as you however they are linked into a network of many faiths across the chaplaincy and in the civilian world and so can help you with what you need.
